Brooke pulled the car up to Anna's house and watched as Peyton jumped out of the car. She didn't think her best friend would be this excited to see the new girl. She watched as Peyton rang the doorbell and waited for Anna to come out. She watched as the two girls embraced one another and made their way towards the car. Brooke's gaze traveled to the linked arms and couldn't help but feel a twinge of jealousy at how close Peyton and Anna seem to be after such a brief period of friend. Brooke felt like she was losing her best friend again. First it was to Lucas, now it was to ex.

"Whoa there Tigger, I would hate to be the unfortunate soul that murderous look is directed at." Haley had watched Brooke's facial expressions change from dazed to downright dislike in the span of a couple of minutes. "Look Brooke, I know it must be uncomfortable hanging out with Lucas' new girl, what with your past history with him and all, but give her a chance. She's probably not so bad once you get to know her. Peyton seems to like her a lot." Haley pointed to the two laughing girls outside of the car.

Apparently Lucas hadn't told Haley yet that he and Anna were no longer a couple. Brooke was sure that Haley would know by now. Them being best friends and all! Boy, this is going to be more awkward than I thought, Brooke thought to herself as she placed a smile on her face when Peyton and Anna entered the car.

"Hey guys, thanks for inviting me along." Anna took her seat next to Haley and offered her a smile. To Brooke she only offered a smirk.

Brooke caught the look that Anna gave her through the rear view mirror and mumbled btch under her breath.

"Did you say something Brooke?" Peyton glanced curiously at her friend, surprised by her attitude.

"Who me? Nothing." She turned to look at Anna. "It's always fun to have my boyfriends sister and ex-boyfriends whatever you are to him along." With that, she turned back and shifted her car into drive.

Before long they arrived at their destination, a lingerie shop. To the confusion of the other girls in the car, who were all wondering what they were doing there. Brooke parked her car and quickly got out before the others and strode confidently towards the shop. She turned and arched an eyebrow at her friends, indicating that they should follow suit.

"Brooke, what the hell are we doing here? Peyton asked, being the first to reach her.

"Well blondie, what do you think we're doing here? We're going to have fun trying on sexy lingerie." Brooke informed as if it was obvious. "And besides, I have a date with my boy-toy tonight, so I have to find something that'll make his tongue hit the floor."

"Can we please not talk about my brother like that? It's gross." Anna said with disgust.

"What? It's nothing you haven't heard before." Brooke said as the girls made their way into the store. "Now, Hales, I'm pretty sure you haven't bought anything sexy since the night of your bachelorette party, so we're working on you first. Gotta keep that husband of yours satisfied." Brooke laughed as Haley gave her the evil eye and stomped pass her. She knew Haley hated this sort of thing. The girl was just too serious sometimes. Now she can see why her and Lucas were such best friends.

As Haley and Peyton made there way into the dressing rooms, each with an outfit that Brooke had chosen for them, and each reluctant to try them on. But with much pleading and threatening from Brooke, they finally conceded. Unfortunately that left Brooke alone with Anna.

"So, spoken to Lucas lately?" Anna asked her from her seat by the dressing room.

Brooke, uncomfortable with the question, bought herself some time by pretending to search through a nearby rack, pretending like she hadn't heard the question.

"I know you can hear me Brooke, so don't play dumb. You know why he broke up with me." Anna stomped over to where Brooke was idly sorting through the rack of bras.

Brooke ceased her search and turned to look at Anna, her hands on her hips. "Okay, here's the deal new-girl, whatever has happened between you and Lucas, my ex, is none of my business. So if you're trying to point the blame finger at somebody because you guys didn't work out, point it somewhere else." This caused Anna's face to burn red with anger, and she took a threatening step closer to Brooke.

"Well, if it wasn't for you, we would still be together. So yeah, I'm going to blame you, unless you know any other Brooke Davis' in this god forsaken town."

Brooke wasn't one to back down from a fight, and the fact that Anna was practically breathing down her throat, only infuriated her more. "Sorry sweetie, there's only one of me, but I'll say this once and only once. Who Lucas chooses to date or not date, is his decision. He's a big boy and makes his own decisions. Maybe if you had a little more trust in him while you two were together, we wouldn't be having this conversations right now. So get out of my face!" With that Brooke stalked past her, but not before bumping her shoulders against Anna's.

Before Anna could retort, Peyton and Haley stepped out of their fitting rooms to show off their outfits.

"Wow, who knew a skinny blond and a drabby tutor girl could look so hot?" Brooke asked as she inspected their outfits and clapped her hands in excitement. "You guys so have to buy that. Hales, Nathan will fall to his knees the moment you put that on for him, and Peyt, even though you don't have a man right now, you can always where that in front of your web cam and give the cyber drones something to slobber about."

"You know, I'm not hating this. Who knew silk could be so sexy!" Haley said as she looked at her reflection. "Nathan would die if I wore this for him."

"Well, I'm not buying this, like you said, I have no one to wear it for." Peyton glanced sadly at her reflection.

"You know, we could always put you back on Lust Factor. Remember, the last time you were on you were like a 9.2 or something. And there were some cuties on." Brooke wiggled her eyebrows suggestively and laughed as Peyton gave her a disgusted look in the mirror. "Lighten up P.Sawyer."

"Hey, where's Anna?" Peyton glanced around the store and couldn't find her anywhere. "What did you do Brooke?"

"What? I didn't do anything. Is it my fault the girls got major issues?" Brooke shrugged her shoulders innocently. "And besides, what makes you think I did anything?"

"Because you were the only one out here with her and now she's disappeared. I thought this was supposed to be a fun day?"

"Well it was, until you asked new-girl to come." Brooke muttered.

Haley, sensing an argument, played peace maker. "Alright guys, let's just get dressed and get out of here. I think we've had enough excitement for a day. Come on Peyt, we'll find her." Haley dragged Peyton back into the fitting room before she could object.

Brooke sighed deeply and wondered how this day had turned out to be so depressing. All she wanted to do was have fun with her friends, and now their at each others throat for no reason. And all because of her, Brooke thought angrily. She couldn't believe her best friend was blaming her for Anna's problems. Like she didn't have enough to deal already! Between Felix, Lucas and Anna, Brooke was frustrated beyond belief.

She waited outside of the store for Peyton and Haley to join her, and as soon as they did, they set out to find Anna. Boy, the btch sure knew how to ruin her day, Brooke thought as they got into the car and set off in search of the missing girl.

A/N: Okay, so I know this was supposed to be a fun chapter, but as I was writing it, I found that it was impossible for Brooke to have fun with Anna there. And, since I don't really like Anna's character, I wanted to make her look bad. I hope you all don't hate it too much. Please let me know what you think! Thanks!
